Show In November 1943, the Utah Construction Company closed the last gap in the Alaska Highway, and workers headed south before another winter set in. The $138 million highway was 1,671 miles long and bridged 200 streams. The company received a Certificate of Merit from the Public Roads Administration. During construction not only had Japan attacked the United States, but Germany had attacked the Soviet Union. The Alaska Highway supported the Allied defense as thousands of planes and a number of ships went to the aid of the Soviet Union. Stalin ignored frequent requests from Roosevelt and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill to declare war on Japan. Then, on August 8,1945, after atomic bombs fell on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Stalin declared war and moved troops into Manchuria to claim territory conquered by the Japanese. Company executives were so pleased with the image at left that they had a similar postcard created. Note that the sign cites November 13th, while the group photograph on page 44 cites November 15th. Fragmentary in-house company histories offer no explanation. |
